Gear changes will be felt in all gears at all RPM. Upgrade the factory 3.27s to 3.73s and you will realize an equivalent torque gain of approximately 15% EVERYWHERE. If you have a V6 that is like an extra 41 lb.-ft. of torque across the board. If you have an SS it is like an extra 62 lb.-ft. of torque.

OK, you are in the same boat as me. I have a V6 Auto. In order to go to 3.73 you will have to change out the rear from an SS as only 3.55 gears are made for the Auto. The Manual V6 uses the same rear as the SS already. I went ahead and made the swap as it gives you heavy duty axles and rear compared to the smaller V6 auto. Also you will gain a limited slip as the AutoV6 doesnt have one. I went with 3.73 in mine. Unfortunately i cannot say the difference in the 1/4mile as i didnt take it to the track prior. You will find it runs better when in sport mode, but in normal D mode i find 1st gear shift really quick.

do you have to recalibrate speedometer with gears or just plug and play?

You will need a tune to recalibrate the speedometer. I found mine to be off by ~10mph going to the 3.73. After the recalibration i am within 1mph. Close enough for me. I had my gears installed in Bradenton area. They supplied everything. They can do it while you wait, took about 4 hours. If interested pm me for their number.
